No one uses legal services when things are good. The stress one goes through during a bankruptcy is immense. Beyond the effective legal expertise, Xue and a partner at Wade, Grimes, Friedman, Meinken, Leischner, PLLC, offered empathy and humanity through this process. Xue set clear expectations and delivered on her efforts. I am forever grateful for having Ms. Connelly as my lawyer and for the expertise of the entire law firm. I highly recommend Xue if you want a professional who has excellent client service and attention.

I once heard this from a well respected lawyer & TV journalist on a news program, "You hire a lawyer to 'make it go away'..." The 'it' being whatever the problem is that is weighing you down. I hired my lawyer, Xue Franco Connelly and colleagues, to make my financial debt problem go away...and we did it via a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy program. After 4 years, my wife and I are happily debt free and we repaid all our creditors in full...which was not my preferred choice but nonetheless in the end personally satisfying to repay all the money I had borrowed with a structured and manageable re-payment plan. Working together, we did "make it go away" and for that, I thank Xue and her team. I might also add my own personal quote... "A lawyer is not your friend but can be friendly". I found Xue to be very friendly, even when giving me the straight talk which is often the unavoidable less preferred choices of must be done legalese that must be accepted because in order to be approved for a Ch. 13 plan, one must sometimes repay 100% of everything as the law is the law and even the best of lawyers cannot make THAT go away. You see, making a problem go away involves navigating our nation's legal system of laws. In this, sometimes the facts are unavoidable, even for the best of lawyers. The law is the law and the job of any lawyer is to lay out the sometimes unpleasant choices a client must accept according to the law. My lawyer was always pleasant in presenting these facts, even when telling me unpleasant facts...such as, 'No you do not qualify for Chapter 7 because you earn too much money under the rule of law". A lawyer is not a magician to make a problem disappear, but rather a trail boss on a long journey to reach an end after taking the path known expertly by the lawyers. A long journey is not always easy, but you can and will over a set amount of time reach the end. My lawyer, Xue Franco Connelly, did indeed help me reach the long trail's end with an encouraging friendly smile at check-in meetings and kind understanding emails where paperwork was needed along navigating my Chapter 13 journey. I am now debt free and breathing easier. Thanks Xue!

My wife and I needed to update our Wills before moving outside the country and we needed it done fast. We contacted Wade, Grimes, Friedman, Meinken & Leischner, PLLC based on the good reviews online and we were quickly put into contact with Mrs. Connelly. She was very professional and ensured the whole process went smoothly. She also ensured all of our questions were answered in a very timely manner. A great firm to hire!

We worked with Xue before she got her law degree and recently after she became part officially of the Old Town lawyers and pass the bar as an official lawyer. She worked with us through bankruptcy and recently through doing wills and power of attorneys due to hospital stay. She has been a tremendous help to us and a good friend through the process of what our needs have been in the legal Arena and we think she is on her way to having a tremendous career.

You see, making a problem go away involves navigating our nation's legal system of laws. In this, sometimes the facts are unavoidable, even for the best of lawyers. The law is the law and the job of any lawyer is to lay out the sometimes unpleasant choices a client must accept according to the law. My lawyer was always pleasant in presenting these facts, even when telling me unpleasant facts...such as, 'No you do not qualify for Chapter 7 because you earn too much money under the rule of law". A lawyer is not a magician to make a problem disappear, but rather a trail boss on a long journey to reach an end after taking the path known expertly by the lawyers. A long journey is not always easy, but you can and will over a set amount of time reach the end. My lawyer, Xue Franco Connelly, did indeed help me reach the long trail's end with an encouraging friendly smile at check-in meetings and kind understanding emails where paperwork was needed along navigating my Chapter 13 journey. I am now debt free and breathing easier. Thanks Xue!

My wife and I needed to update our Wills before moving outside the country and we needed it done fast. We contacted Wade, Grimes, Friedman, Meinken & Leischner, PLLC based on the good reviews online and we were quickly put into contact with Mrs. Connelly. She was very professional and ensured the whole process went smoothly. She also ensured all of our questions were answered in a very timely manner. A great firm to hire!

We worked with Xue before she got her law degree and recently after she became part officially of the Old Town lawyers and pass the bar as an official lawyer. She worked with us through bankruptcy and recently through doing wills and power of attorneys due to hospital stay. She has been a tremendous help to us and a good friend through the process of what our needs have been in the legal Arena and we think she is on her way to having a tremendous career.

No one uses legal services when things are good. The stress one goes through during a bankruptcy is immense. Beyond the effective legal expertise, Xue and a partner at Wade, Grimes, Friedman, Meinken, Leischner, PLLC, offered empathy and humanity through this process. Xue set clear expectations and delivered on her efforts. I am forever grateful for having Ms. Connelly as my lawyer and for the expertise of the entire law firm. I highly recommend Xue if you want a professional who has excellent client service and attention.

I once heard this from a well respected lawyer & TV journalist on a news program, "You hire a lawyer to 'make it go away'..." The 'it' being whatever the problem is that is weighing you down. I hired my lawyer, Xue Franco Connelly and colleagues, to make my financial debt problem go away...and we did it via a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy program. After 4 years, my wife and I are happily debt free and we repaid all our creditors in full...which was not my preferred choice but nonetheless in the end personally satisfying to repay all the money I had borrowed with a structured and manageable re-payment plan. Working together, we did "make it go away" and for that, I thank Xue and her team. I might also add my own personal quote... "A lawyer is not your friend but can be friendly".

Working together, we did "make it go away" and for that, I thank Xue and her team. I might also add my own personal quote... "A lawyer is not your friend but can be friendly". I found Xue to be very friendly, even when giving me the straight talk which is often the unavoidable less preferred choices of must be done legalese that must be accepted because in order to be approved for a Ch. 13 plan, one must sometimes repay 100% of everything as the law is the law and even the best of lawyers cannot make THAT go away. You see, making a problem go away involves navigating our nation's legal system of laws. In this, sometimes the facts are unavoidable, even for the best of lawyers. The law is the law and the job of any lawyer is to lay out the sometimes unpleasant choices a client must accept according to the law. My lawyer was always pleasant in presenting these facts, even when telling me unpleasant facts...such as, 'No you do not qualify for Chapter 7 because you earn too much money under the rule of law". A lawyer is not a magician to make a problem disappear, but rather a trail boss on a long journey to reach an end after taking the path known expertly by the lawyers. A long journey is not always easy, but you can and will over a set amount of time reach the end. My lawyer, Xue Franco Connelly, did indeed help me reach the long trail's end with an encouraging friendly smile at check-in meetings and kind understanding emails where paperwork was needed along navigating my Chapter 13 journey. I am now debt free and breathing easier. Thanks Xue!

My wife and I needed to update our Wills before moving outside the country and we needed it done fast. We contacted Wade, Grimes, Friedman, Meinken & Leischner, PLLC based on the good reviews online and we were quickly put into contact with Mrs. Connelly. She was very professional and ensured the whole process went smoothly. She also ensured all of our questions were answered in a very timely manner. A great firm to hire!

We worked with Xue before she got her law degree and recently after she became part officially of the Old Town lawyers and pass the bar as an official lawyer. She worked with us through bankruptcy and recently through doing wills and power of attorneys due to hospital stay. She has been a tremendous help to us and a good friend through the process of what our needs have been in the legal Arena and we think she is on her way to having a tremendous career.

No one uses legal services when things are good. The stress one goes through during a bankruptcy is immense. Beyond the effective legal expertise, Xue and a partner at Wade, Grimes, Friedman, Meinken, Leischner, PLLC, offered empathy and humanity through this process. Xue set clear expectations and delivered on her efforts. I am forever grateful for having Ms. Connelly as my lawyer and for the expertise of the entire law firm. I highly recommend Xue if you want a professional who has excellent client service and attention.
